George Barker

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Yeah,let's row a player out after 10 minutes of football....

 

[clapham_gull]

Let's judge him after 10 minutes game time.

Can that expression please crawl back under the rock it came from along with EPL and "banter".

 

[BensGrandad]

This age thing is a myth he is 21 years old not a kid or youth team player. Virtusally the same age as Peter Ward when he made his debut for us at Hereford.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

As I have said as we are short of strikers I would sooner that Gus put Brennan Dickenson on the bench as he is verY quick and has whenever he has been out on loan scored goals in the FL. He would be the nearest to a ready made replacement for Buckley who is out with a hamstring injury.

Is he? Is that confirmed? I thought Charlie said the doc hadn't decided how serious it is yet.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I thought that he did exactly what I expected nothing. IMHO we would have done better to put El Abd on up front with Ulloa to try to unsettle them and force a mistake just by using brute strength

El Abd up front .hmmm..thinking out of the box I see

Quiet night in the nursing home??

You're expecting too much BG. He did ok today, nothing more or less. It was tough for him coming on to play from the right, but he had a go and got in some good positions. The ball didn't fall his way, but if it had I reckon he'd have made an impact.

Tough afternoon against a good team.

Exactly as I heard it

I think the meds person has been round

 

[MissGull]

He warms up just in front of me and when Leicester scored he looked desperate to get on and help our guys. I'm glad Gus gave him a chance and they've obviously seen potential in him he just lacks experience.

Older than Barnes when we got him, as is Toby

Not been confirmed but that was the immerdiate assumptuion when he went off so early.

Before we slag of Gus yet again Brennan Dickenson returned from his loan spell having missed the final match due to a foot injury, this was reported on 25th March so maybe just maybe he is still injured

If he feels a twinge he goes off

So this isn't really a thread about Barker who did, as everyone else notes, perfectly fine. It's a thread about how you want us to have a back up strike force of Dickenson and El Abd.

It's more of a suprise when bens grandad DOESN'T talk utter nonsense, but putting El-Abd up front takes the absolute piss

I wanted somebody to come on and support Ulloa ,who was winning nothing against Morgan, hence my suggestion, somewhat unusual but to have put El Abd on up front to try to unsettle the Leicester central defenders and give Ulloa a chance

Ahh poor old BG he will be asleep in his chair soon! He does make me chuckle!

Scored fo the DS Vs East Preston in the cup game so not injured.
